Feature Request: Scale fargate tasks dynamically

[sam-barker]

Hello!

With the current implementation of artillery we can only scale VUs per artillery task. i.e. go from 1 -> 6 browsers per task.

However, because of the amount of browsers running in the container concurrently, it can affect timings of browser interactions, etc and we want to mitigate/eliminate these conditions as best as possible.

It would be ideal if we could run 1 VU per task, and scale up the tasks. At the moment we have 250ish tasks, and scale the VUs from 1 to 6 over the course of 40 minutes. However, we would love to be able to scale differently, so 250 tasks with 1 VU each, and then over 40 minutes ramp up to say 1500 tasks.

Would this be something that could be looked into? We're desperate for it to be implemented!
